(discuss in smaller groups?)

  2. "How do I effectively use technology that I barely understand? Isn't technology what they learn about in ICT?"
  3. "What are the barriers and challenges to implementing Web 2.0 in our classrooms?"
  4. "What our relationship to the secondary school, with regards to technology? How can we support each other?"
